Notes:  This is great trip for divers and non-divers.  We will have our tremendously fun pot-luck dinner on Saturday evening. Bring a dish that will serve at least 10 people (more details, suggestions and sign-ups will be emailed to participants prior to trip). Everyone works up quite an appetite on the water all day.  

Please compress/pack your boat gear for easy storage and handling.  Bring your own lunch, snacks, water, drinks in a small cooler (or if you only have a larger cooler, plan on sharing it with others as space is limited on the boat with all of the dive gear.) 

Several of us will arrive on Friday to set up camp and then have dinner at the lodge restaurant.
